At the time, Beech Nut was a favourite of ours(I say 'ours' because I shared it with my brothers)....we rarely got sweets of any description......and OK Beech Nut wasn't sweets as such...but it was sweet and it lasted a long time.......something which enhanced its popularity with all of us.
I actually liked Wrigleys spearmint much better but at the time it 2d a packed...twice the price of Beech Nut...with no chance of an extra pack if you were the 4th person to buy from the machine.

I rarely got sweets either ... think it had something to do with the sugar coupon (and being broke) ... ah, the wonderful days of rationing
Can't remember when sweets came off ration
Might have been as late as '56; but by that time I was stealing them anyway.
Still prefered beer tho'. Still do.
